12th century
According to tradition, the Church of All Saints, built in the early 12th century, is attributed to the work of the Templars. One of the peculiarities of this church is its portico, one of the few remaining examples in Apulia, which once connected it to the Templars' hospital, still visible today. It is said that, under this portico, the Norman knights of the First Crusade, under the command of Bohemond of Hauteville, took their vows. An inscription on the façade reveals an intriguing detail: it mentions Constantine, described not only as a doctor, but also as abbot-rector of the tranese Domus, suggesting a connection with the Templars. After 1312, following the dissolution of the Templars, the church passed into the hands of the Hierosolimitans and, later, to prestigious local families. Worthy of note is the icon created by the Greek iconographer Andrea Ritzos from Candia in the 15th century.
